From Scranton comes word that President Walter Hapgood and his partner, George Stallings, will be satisfied with nothing lesss than a pennant. Jack Egan, Scranton manager, lias started for the Savannah, camp of the Rochester Internationals; also owned by Hapgood and Stallings. Egan's job will be to garner all the talent not yet good enough for the International pace and measure them for Scranton uniforms. None of the players purchased for Scranton since the close of last season have been sent South, but a few of them will head toward the land of perpetual sunshine within a few weeks. Wilkes-Barre's stock was boosted with the reported signing of Lefty Hewitt, former member of the Elmira Red Jackets.

Hewitt joined the Buffalo Internationals last Spring, but was later sent to the Elmira club. Near the close of the season he obtained his release and became a free Coxing company.

Stewart Hockenbury, who succeeded Charlie Nye as gridiron chief at the Maroon institution, is back of the movement, an innovation in Tech annals. With it nesessary to build virtually a new machine next season, Cap Hockenbury is working on the principal that the sooner construction is started the quicker finished. At a meeting yesterday attended by Hockenbury, P. L.

Grubb, faculty adviser, Doctor Fager and Assistant Coach Dewire, plans were discussed for pre-season activities. The football men will probably be called out April 1, with Coach Dewire in charge. The Island will be used, unless it is determined that fast-flying cleats will interefere with the natural growth of the sod. In that case, the drills will be held on the highway field opposite the school. Losh's Run, the Y.

M. C. A. camp site, will be invaded by the Tech athletes about two weeks before the Fall term opens. Only the athletes who show the best form in the Spring training and who are considered varsity prospects will attend the camp.

That Tech will need another wonder machine next year is indicated by the schedule Adviser Grubb is arranging.

Whether Williamsport will obtain material from the Pittsburgh Pirates witn an almost impenetrable detense and left jab of terrific force, would go far in professional ranks. Matched against Bill Atticks, a veteran campaigner, Mayle won easily in three rounds.

Using big gloves, Mayle quickly wore Atticks down with left hooks and jabs and smothered the long range shots of the local fighter. Opening up in the final session, Mayle drew blood and had Atticks on the defensive to weather the storm. Lieutenant Mclnerney drew a tough customer in Bob Smith, Carlisle Barracks, and carried the decision in three rounds. Mclnerney is an aggressive battler and improved as the "fight progressed. In the opening round his blows were going wild, but in the second and third rounds he found the range and gradually wore down Smith.

Kid Bugler, Carlisle Barracks, and Bill Haverling, 104th Cavalry, opened the boxing portion of the program. Bugler was given the decision after three rounds of hard battling. Corporal Jared and Pat Riley fought a fast three-round bout, with Jared's rally In the final stanza earned him the decision. The wrestling bouts were won in quick order. Lieutenant White threw Frank Kreider in ten minutes; Lieutenant Wharton threw Harry Miller in five and one-half minutes, and.

Lieutenant Noyes threw Sergeant Soarsen in one minute, forty-five seconds. Between the boxing and wrestling bouts Capt. Charles J. Mabbutt, master of ceremonies, exhibited his trained police dog. Moving pictures of war scenes completed the program.

Williamsport, Tech's chief rival for honors in the Central Pennsylvania Scholastic League, and Mansfield will fight it out for No. 4 honors and the right to a semi-final game with the local outfit. The Billtowners and Mansfield won their preliminary No. 4 games without trouble, the former defeating Sun-bury, 45 to 18, and Mansfield running away from Canton, 39 to 7.

If Luis Angel Firpo really does intend to re-ire from the roped arena for more peaceful pastures, he has not convinced Billy McCarney, his United States ambassador, of his sincerity. McCarney declares there must be a mistake in the report somewhere. He said he had received a cable from Hugh Gartland, his partner, who is now in Buenos Aires, congratulating him on the splendid array of bouts he had arranged for Luis in this country. McCarney said he had virtually completed arrangements for bouts involving total purses of $500,000, exclusive of the tilt with Champion Jack Dempsey.

March 19. At this time of the year you baseball fans get a lot of dope about the young players who come up for a big league try-out, but to me, in a way, it Is a little more interesting to think of the real veter-rans of the game. I don't mean to shed any tears for those who are about to pass on to the minors. A ball player who has been up in the majors for a long time does not need any tears. Passing out is part of the game.

We don't kid ourselves about that. We come and go. a ball harder now than I did when I was his age, and he Isn't even 21 yet.
